Nikolai Kapustin - Piano Sonata No. 9, Op. 78 (1995) [Score-Video]

[@davidxpopescu]

One of His most underrated sonatas ever

[@borbalbuddy]

In my personal opinion, one of his best sonatas. What a fantastic ending!

[@aloziecnwachukwu1515]

He is an AMAZING composer. WOW!!!!

[@tarikeld11]

I love how classical this sonata is! The first movement quotes Beethoven's Pathetique. 7:06 is rather impressionistic, the part from 7:57 - 8:05 could be by Schubert, then 8:05 - 8:55 begins like Chopin and develops in a very romantic way, sometimes "interrupted" by 7b5 harmonies (which I love). Finally, the last movement is full Jazz again, a Cuban theme, Bebop, and a Stride finale

12:52 How on earth does he play those quaver chords so clearly thats so impossibly difficult

[@НикитаМорозов-т7у]

He uses thumb for seconds in the bottom of the chords.
